FRIENDS As recorded by The Police (From the 1993 Box MESSAGE IN A BOX: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS) [Verse 1]
AmI likes to eat my friends and Amake no bones about it Am I likes to eat my friends, AI couldn't do without it AmAin't a man or poet, friend, I Aknow just how you'll taste Your Amlimbs go sliding down my throat and Anever go to waste Your Amdeath, of course, will sadden me, unAtil I grok your essence I Amknow your life was not in vain when diAgestion is commencing ConAmsider this a celebration and the Adeepest pact of friends And I Amhope that you will dine on me when AI come to an end Gadd9
[Bridge] F#7 A7 B7 [Verse 2]
AmEven friends may come to you with a Anew found revelation But Amthink of it as life renewed and Anot their termination 'To kAmnow you is to eat you" should Abe the code of lovers Death Ambrings the highest act of love preserAved for one another
[Bridge] F#7 A7 B7 F#7 A7 B7 [Interlude] N.C. [Verse 3]
AmPeople say that what you are Ais only what you eat And my Amfriends become a part of me, oh well Aits then that life's complete To lovAme you is to eat you, the Aact of love supreme Each Amone of us inside himself can Aappetize the dream
[Outro] F#7 A7 B7 F#7 A7 B7
